46 <h3>Overview - Tazwok and the wok</h3>
|
|
pankso@21
|
47 <p>
|
|
pankso@21
|
48 The idea is to use a directory (wok) containing all the available packages, each package contains
|
|
pankso@21
|
49 at least one receipt to download, unpack, compile and generate the binary package. To operate,
|
|
pankso@21
|
50 tazwok also needs to create a directory to store downloaded sources ($SOURCES_REPOSITORY) and a
|
|
pankso@21
|
51 repository of generated packages ($PACKAGES_REPOSITORY), these values can be configured using the
|
|
pankso@21
|
52 <code>/etc/tazwok.conf</code> file.
|
|
pankso@21
|
53 </p>
|
|
pankso@21
|
54
|
|
pankso@21
|
55 <a name="wok"></a>
|
|
pankso@21
|
56 <h3><font color="#6c0023">Wok tools</font></h3>
|
|
pankso@21
|
57 <p>
|
|
pankso@21
|
58 To begin, tazwok must already be installed
|
|
pankso@21
|
59 on the system and the main development tools (binutils, compiler, libraries-dev, make) must be downloaded.
|
|
paul@29
|
60 On Slitaz you need to install the meta-package <code>slitaz-toolchain</code>:
|
|
pankso@21
|
61 </p>
|
|
pankso@21
|
62 <pre> # tazpkg recharge
|
|
pankso@21
|
63 # tazpkg get-install slitaz-toolchain
|
|
pankso@21
|
64 </pre>
|
|
MikeDSmith25@181
|
65 <p>
|
|
MikeDSmith25@181
|
66 You also need <code>mercurial</code>:
|
|
MikeDSmith25@181
|
67 </p>
|
|
MikeDSmith25@181
|
68 <pre> # tazpkg get-install mercurial
|
|
MikeDSmith25@181
|
69 </pre>
|
|
pankso@21
|
70 <h4>Get the wok</h4>
|
|
pankso@21
|
71 <p>
|
|
pankso@21
|
72 Before working it is necessary to recover the wok from the Mercurial repositories or an archive of
|
|
pankso@21
|
73 the primary mirror (TuxFamily). Example using SliTaz to be built in <code>/home/slitaz</code>:
|
|
pankso@21
|
74 </p>
|
|
pankso@21
|
75 <pre> $ hg clone http://hg.slitaz.org/wok/ /home/slitaz/wok
|
|
pankso@21
|
76 </pre>
|
|
pankso@21
|
77 <p>
|
|
pankso@21
|
78 The archives are also available from the URL:
|
|
pankso@21
|
79 <a href="ftp://download.tuxfamily.org/slitaz/wok/">ftp://download.tuxfamily.org/slitaz/wok/</a>.
|
|
pankso@21
|
80 Just take the latest version from the cooking or undigest directories. Before compiling your first package,
|
|
pankso@21
|
81 tazwok must know where to look for the files. By default the path is <code>/home/slitaz/wok</code>,
|
|
pankso@21
|
82 you can change this or rename the wok you want to download. To view/check tazwok paths that will be used
|
|
pankso@21
|
83 and the number of packages in the wok, you can use the tazwok command <code>stats</code>:
|
|
pankso@21
|
84 </p>
|
|
pankso@21
|
85 <pre> # tazwok stats
|
|
pankso@21
|
86 </pre>
|
|
pankso@21
|
87
|
|
pankso@21
|
88 <a name="cook"></a>
|
|
pankso@21
|
89 <h3>Compile and generate packages</h3>
|
|
pankso@21
|
90 <p>
|
|
pankso@21
|
91 Configure, compile, strip.., The way SliTaz generates a package can be put into a single command.
|
|
paul@166
|
92 To avoid frustration, it is advisable to build your package without changing its receipt or seeking
|
|
pankso@21
|
93 dependancies. M4 is an ideal candidate for your first <code>cook</code>:
|
|
pankso@21
|
94 </p>
|
|
pankso@21
|
95 <pre> # tazwok cook m4
|
|
pankso@21
|
96 </pre>
|
|
pankso@21
|
97 <p>
|
|
pankso@21
|
98 Once the work is finished, the package is located in the directory specified by the configuration file
|
|
pankso@21
|
99 (default <code>/home/slitaz/packages</code>). If all went well, you can install the package on the host system
|
|
paul@29
|
100 or use it to generate a LiveCD distribution via tazlito. To create a new package you can use <code>new-tree</code>
|
|
pankso@21
|
101 with the option <code>--interactive</code> and read the documentation on the options provided by the
|
|
pankso@21
|
102 <a href="receipts.html">receipt</a>.
|
|
pankso@21
|
103 </p>
|
|
pankso@21
|
104 <h4>Cook-list - List of cooking</h4>
|
|
pankso@21
|
105 <p>
|
|
pankso@21
|
106 To compile several packages with a single command, you can use a cooking list. There are example lists in
|
|
pankso@21
|
107 <code>usr/share/examples/tazwok/cooklists</code> on SliTaz, these are just text files with a package put on every line.
|
|
pankso@21
|
108 Cook-list example using mypkgs.cooklist:
|
|
pankso@21
|
109 </p>
|
|
pankso@21
|
110 <pre> # tazwok cook-list mypkgs.cooklist
|
|
pankso@21
|
111 </pre>
|
|
pankso@21
|
112
|
|
pankso@21
|
113 <a name="opts"></a>
|
|
pankso@21
|
114 <h3>Options during compilation of package</h3>
|
|
pankso@21
|
115 <p>
|
|
paul@29
|
116 You are free to use any options you want, it is necessary to respect the FSH, the docs in <code>/usr/share/doc</code>
|
|
pankso@21
|
117 and follow the Freedesktop standards (.desktop). Then it's just a question of choice, for example you can disable
|
|
pankso@21
|
118 support for XML, have smaller binaries for PHP and get rid of libxml2, but in the case of PHP, it's not worth the
|
|
pankso@21
|
119 cost in terms of loss of functionality. If you have any doubts, look at the receipts and compiler options in
|
|
pankso@21
|
120 <code>compile_rules</code>.
|
|
pankso@21
|
121 </p>
|
|
pankso@21
|
122 <h4>Optimization</h4>
|
|
pankso@21
|
123 <p>
|
|
pankso@21
|
124 The official SliTaz packages are optimized for i486, the optimization arguments used to configure are specified in
|
|
pankso@21
|
125 <code>/etc/tazwok.conf</code> and can be called via the variable <code>$CONFIGURE_ARGS</code>.
|
|
pankso@21
|
126 If you want to compile a package with different arguments, you can modify the tazwok configuration file:
|
|
pankso@21
|
127 </p>
|
|
pankso@21
|
128 <pre class="script">CONFIGURE_ARGS="--build=i486-pc-linux-gnu --host=i486-pc-linux-gnu"
|
|
pankso@21
|
129 </pre>
|
|
pankso@21
|
130
|
|
pankso@21
|
131 <a name="files"></a>
|
|
pankso@21
|
132 <h3>Files included or excluded packages</h3>
|
|
pankso@21
|
133 <p>
|
|
pankso@21
|
134 Generally the base packages contain no man, info, doc or static libraries, we have to create them via a package-doc
|
|
paul@29
|
135 or a package-dev. Note that SliTaz is not intending to use the man or info command, so there's no manual or GNU
|
|
pankso@21
|
136 info file. The creation of packages containing docs is really optional, especially if the material is in English
|
|
pankso@21
|
137 (I say). By contrast a piece of text on the package in the Handbook is more appreciated.
|
|
pankso@21
|
138 </p>
|
|
pankso@21
|
139 <p>
|
|
pankso@21
|
140 In terms of configuration, whenever possible, the aim is to offer basic configuration files to run the package
|
|
pankso@21
|
141 directly. In the case of the web server LightTPD package, SliTaz supplies configuration files and startup scripts
|
|
paul@153
|
142 located in /etc/init.d (documented in the Handbook). For a new package, you are free to choose its default
|
|
pankso@21
|
143 configuration depending on what you think is easiest for the end user. On SliTaz you have <code>/usr/share/examples</code>
|
|
pankso@21
|
144 for example configurations and other kinds of useful infomation.

148 <h3>Categories of packages</h3>
|
|
pankso@21
|
149 <p>
|
|
paul@29
|
150 The categories of packages exist only for informational purposes and are not fixed, the idea is to classify
|
|
pankso@21
|
151 packages so that a web page can be generated each night recovering data in the package receipt. For the short term, place
|
|
pankso@21
|
152 developement packages in 'devel', Xorg in 'x-window' and the variety of new packages in 'extra'
|
|

156 <h3>Structure of a package in the wok</h3>
|
|
pankso@21
|
157 <p>
|
|
paul@29
|
158 The structure of the packages in the wok should always be respected so that tazwok can find the correct files and directories.
|
|
pankso@21
|
159 Possible contents of a package (note the directory taz/ is created at time of cooking):
|
|
pankso@21
|
160 </p>
|
|
pankso@21
|
161 <ul>
|
|
pankso@21
|
162 <li><code>stuff/</code> : The material used to configure, compile and generate the package
|
|
pankso@21
|
163 (patch(es), Makefile, pseudo fs, etc).</li>
|
|
pankso@21
|
164 <li><code>taz/</code> : Directory tree containing the package tazpkg generated, the compressed package is stored
|
|
pankso@21
|
165 in the directory specified by $PACKAGES_REPOSITORY in the tazwok configuraton file.</li>
|
|
pankso@21
|
166 <li><code>receipt</code> : The receipt (see
|
|
pankso@21
|
167 <a href="receipts.html">receipts</a>).</li>
|
|
pankso@21
|
168 <li><code>description.txt</code> : (optional) The description of the package is copied to the root of the tazpkg
|
|
MikeDSmith25@117
|
169 package. Once installed, tazpkg knows how do deal with this file via 'tazpkg desc pkgname'.</li>
|
|
pankso@21
|
170 </ul>

|
|
pankso@21
|
174 <p>
|
|
pankso@21
|
175 The SliTaz packages are cpio archives containing files and a filesystem compressed with gzip:
|
|
pankso@21
|
176 </p>
|
|
pankso@21
|
177 <ul>
|
|
pankso@21
|
178 <li><code>fs/</code> : Pseudo filesystem containing all the files to install.</li>
|
|
pankso@21
|
179 <li><code>receipt</code> : The receipt (see receipt.txt).</li>
|
|
pankso@21
|
180 <li><code>files.list</code> : A list of files in the package.</li>
|
|
pankso@21
